Complex Personality

How picky are you about color? My only criteria is that it be beautiful. I chose the Autumn color way for my Oregon vest based on this image:

Here's what my knitting looks like under florescent lights, with no camera flash:

The above image is pretty true to the actual colors. They look like something you'd see in an old tapestry or rug. Very rich, but deep and dark. The pattern card at the top of the picture shows the colors as much brighter than both the web image and my knitting. It was a mystery to me how there could be such a difference, until I took a picture using my camera's flash:

Now the colors are starting to match up.

It's interesting, isn't it? I'm not disappointed in the least. This vest shows different shades for different circumstances and I think each is suited to the situation: deep colors under dark lighting, brilliant colors for brilliant lighting. I'm anxious to see what it looks like in full, natural light. It has personality, this vest.
